    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This very rare Victorian pheasant's eye is another treasure from the illustrious Rev. Engleheart who gave the world 'Beersheba', 'Lucifer', 'White Lady', and many others. It's richly fragrant, with petals of "driven snow" (to quote the British Saturday Review of 1905), a cup of "glowing orange edged with deep madder," and a "heart of pure green." 9WC-GWYR, 18-20", zones 4-6bS(8WC)
